#INSS - School was out for thousands of teenagers across the country due to yesterday’s ASTI teacher strike – except for one group of students who swapped their classroom for the sea.
The Irish Times reports on the Irish National Sailing and Power Boat School’s special sailing day for pupils affected by the strike on Thursday 27 October.
Fifteen youth sailors who normally take to Dun Laoghaire’s waters on Saturdays got in an early training session, which the sailing school believes would help keep them focused on learning and keeping active in their time off.
The INSS also provides after-school courses for budding sailors, as previously reported on Afloat.ie.
